Danbury Evening News - January 4, 1889 - City Charter accepted with amendments.

A meeting was called by Warden Hopkins to decide whether to accept or reject the City Charter to be presented to the legislature. Many favored the charter while others favored it with amendments, and others who wanted the charter voted down. After much discussion, the City Charter with amendments was approved and adopted by the meeting.
